    Блат

    Hi how are you?

    Could anyone help me understand the meaning of the word "блат". Would it mean charismatic? Like in a sentence "Просто чуть зарплата больше и блат". What would it mean in a sentence like that? Thank you
    Иди и учи русский!

    This idea can also be expressed as system of nepotism and cronyism (usually related to obtaining jobs and positions).

    So, it's a noun, or a particle?

    It's a noun.
    I know it's "MR" not "ME", but still: fix my english mistakes, please!
